Syllabus

Welcome to Global Studies!  I hope you that you are ready to get to work.  This course will be very different from some of the other classes you have taken.  There will be no textbook; instead we will rely on various resources for the topics we will study.  In order to really understand the world in which we live, we must use multiple perspectives, including an examination of the values, beliefs, and traditions of other cultures and civilizations from the past to the present.
